I’ve always enjoyed creating and sharing art with people, and I constantly wonder how I can integrate my creative endeavors with business. Throughout college, Creations by Clio fulfilled this goal, and more: It was inspired by my first study abroad in Japan, it enabled me to connect with both Berkeley students and people from all over the US and internationally, and it taught me about managing a business while also being a great creative outlet.
Now that I’ve graduated, I will explore ten countries and draw about my travels on for the next six months. I’ll be taking a break from making earrings, since I won’t be able to mail orders while abroad. I view this plan as the next step to building my creative business career. I’ve always aspired to either create art or manage a creative brand full time, and my college successes with my art showed me this was possible. I will never compromise my creative and travel pursuits for a career, and I look forward to continue making this possible. Thank you to all who have purchased earrings from me the last few years — I wouldn’t have imagined these possibilities otherwise.
